Direction-Based Surrounder Queries For Mobile Recommendations, Xi Guo, Baihua Zheng, Yoshiharu Ishikawa, Yunjun Gao Oct 2011

Direction-Based Surrounder Queries For Mobile Recommendations, Xi Guo, Baihua Zheng, Yoshiharu Ishikawa, Yunjun Gao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Location-based recommendation services recommend objects to the user based on the user’s preferences. In general, the nearest objects are good choices considering their spatial proximity to the user. However, not only the distance of an object to the user but also their directional relationship are important. Motivated by these, we propose a new spatial query, namely a direction-based surrounder (DBS) query, which retrieves the nearest objects around the user from different directions. We define the DBS query not only in a two-dimensional Euclidean space E">EE but also in a road network R">RR . In the Euclidean space E" …

Context-Aware Nearest Neighbor Query On Social Networks, Yazhe Wang, Baihua Zheng Oct 2011

Context-Aware Nearest Neighbor Query On Social Networks, Yazhe Wang, Baihua Zheng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Social networking has grown rapidly over the last few years, and social networks contain a huge amount of content. However, it can be not easy to navigate the social networks to find specific information. In this paper, we define a new type of queries, namely context-aware nearest neighbor (CANN) search over social network to retrieve the nearest node to the query node that matches the context specified. CANN considers both the structure of the social network, and the profile information of the nodes. We design ahyper-graph based index structure to support approximated CANN search efficiently.

Location-Dependent Spatial Query Containment, Ken C. K. Lee, Brandon Unger, Baihua Zheng, Wang-Chien Lee Oct 2011

Location-Dependent Spatial Query Containment, Ken C. K. Lee, Brandon Unger, Baihua Zheng, Wang-Chien Lee

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Nowadays, location-related information is highly accessible to mobile users via issuing Location-Dependent Spatial Queries (LDSQs) with respect to their locations wirelessly to Location-Based Service (LBS) servers. Due to the limited mobile device battery energy, scarce wireless bandwidth, and heavy LBS server workload, the number of LDSQs submitted over wireless channels to LBS servers for evaluation should be minimized as appropriate. In this paper, we exploit query containment techniques for LDSQs (called LDSQ containment) to enable mobile clients to determine whether the result of a new LDSQ Q′ is completely covered by that of another LDSQ Q previously answered by a …

Using Social Annotations For Trend Discovery In Scientific Publications, Meiqun Hu, Ee Peng Lim, Jing Jiang Oct 2011

Using Social Annotations For Trend Discovery In Scientific Publications, Meiqun Hu, Ee Peng Lim, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Social tags and citing documents are two forms of social annotations to scientific publications. These social annotations provide useful contextual and temporal information for the annotated work, which encapsulates the attention and interest of the annotators. In this work, we explore the use of social annotations for discovering trends in scientific publications. We propose a trend discovery process that employs trend estimation and trend selection and ranking for analyzing the emerging trends shown in the social annotation profiles. The proposed sigmoid trend estimator allows us to characterize and compare how much, when and how fast the trends emerge. To perform …

Mining Top-K Large Structural Patterns In A Massive Network, Feida Zhu, Qiang Qu, David Lo, Xifeng Yan, Jiawei Han, Philip S. Yu Sep 2011

Mining Top-K Large Structural Patterns In A Massive Network, Feida Zhu, Qiang Qu, David Lo, Xifeng Yan, Jiawei Han, Philip S. Yu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With ever-growing popularity of social networks, web and bio-networks, mining large frequent patterns from a single huge network has become increasingly important. Yet the existing pattern mining methods cannot offer the efficiency desirable for large pattern discovery. We propose Spider- Mine, a novel algorithm to efficiently mine top-K largest frequent patterns from a single massive network with any user-specified probability of 1 − ϵ. Deviating from the existing edge-by-edge (i.e., incremental) pattern-growth framework, SpiderMine achieves its efficiency by unleashing the power of small patterns of a bounded diameter, which we call “spiders”. With the spider structure, our approach adopts a …

Automatic Content Generation For Video Self Modeling, Ju Shen, Anusha Raghunathan, Sen-Ching S. Cheung, Ravi R. Patel

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Video self modeling (VSM) is a behavioral intervention technique in which a learner models a target behavior by watching a video of him or herself. Its effectiveness in rehabilitation and education has been repeatedly demonstrated but technical challenges remain in creating video contents that depict previously unseen behaviors. In this paper, we propose a novel system that re-renders new talking-head sequences suitable to be used for VSM treatment of patients with voice disorder. After the raw footage is captured, a new speech track is either synthesized using text-to-speech or selected based on voice similarity from a database of clean speeches. …

Trust Network Inference For Online Rating Data Using Generative Models, Freddy Tat Chua Chua, Ee Peng Lim Jul 2011

Trust Network Inference For Online Rating Data Using Generative Models, Freddy Tat Chua Chua, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In an online rating system, raters assign ratings to objects contributed by other users. In addition, raters can develop trust and distrust on object contributors depending on a few rating and trust related factors. Previous study has shown that ratings and trust links can influence each other but there has been a lack of a formal model to relate these factors together. In this paper, we therefore propose Trust Antecedent Factor (TAF)Model, a novel probabilistic model that generate ratings based on a number of rater’s and contributor’s factors. We demonstrate that parameters of the model can be learnt by Collapsed …

Mining Weakly Labeled Web Facial Images For Search-Based Face Annotation, Dayang Wang, Steven C. H. Hoi, Ying He Jul 2011

Mining Weakly Labeled Web Facial Images For Search-Based Face Annotation, Dayang Wang, Steven C. H. Hoi, Ying He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we investigate a search-based face annotation framework by mining weakly labeled facial images that are freely available on the internet. A key component of such a search-based annotation paradigm is to build a database of facial images with accurate labels. This is however challenging since facial images on the WWW are often noisy and incomplete. To improve the label quality of raw web facial images, we propose an effective Unsupervised Label Refinement (ULR) approach for refining the labels of web facial images by exploring machine learning techniques. We develop effective optimization algorithms to solve the large-scale learning …

Unsupervised Information Extraction With Distributional Prior Knowledge, Cane Wing-Ki Leung, Jing Jiang, Kian Ming A. Chai, Hai Leong Chieu, Loo-Nin Teow

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We address the task of automatic discovery of information extraction template from a given text collection. Our approach clusters candidate slot fillers to identify meaningful template slots. We propose a generative model that incorporates distributional prior knowledge to help distribute candidates in a document into appropriate slots. Empirical results suggest that the proposed prior can bring substantial improvements to our task as compared to a K-means baseline and a Gaussian mixture model baseline. Specifically, the proposed prior has shown to be effective when coupled with discriminative features of the candidates.

Continuous Visible Nearest Neighbor Query Processing In Spatial Databases, Yunjun Gao, Baihua Zheng, Gencai Chen, Qing Li, Xiaofa Guo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we identify and solve a new type of spatial queries, called continuous visible nearest neighbor (CVNN) search. Given a data set P, an obstacle set O, and a query line segment q in a two-dimensional space, a CVNN query returns a set of $${\langle p, R\rangle}$$ tuples such that $${p \in P}$$ is the nearest neighbor to every point r along the interval $${R \subseteq q}$$ as well as pis visible to r. Note that p may be NULL, meaning that all points in P are invisible to all points in R due to the obstruction of …

Link Type Based Pre-Cluster Pair Model For Coreference Resolution, Yang Song, Houfeng Wang, Jing Jiang Jun 2011

Link Type Based Pre-Cluster Pair Model For Coreference Resolution, Yang Song, Houfeng Wang, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper presents our participation in the CoNLL-2011 shared task, Modeling Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes. Coreference resolution, as a difficult and challenging problem in NLP, has attracted a lot of attention in the research community for a long time. Its objective is to determine whether two mentions in a piece of text refer to the same entity. In our system, we implement mention detection and coreference resolution seperately. For mention detection, a simple classification based method combined with several effective features is developed. For coreference resolution, we propose a link type based pre-cluster pair model. In this model, pre-clustering of …

Topical Keyphrase Extraction From Twitter, Xin Zhao, Jing Jiang, Jing He, Yang Song, Palakorn Achananuparp, Ee Peng Lim, Xiaoming Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Summarizing and analyzing Twitter content is an important and challenging task. In this paper, we propose to extract topical keyphrases as one way to summarize Twitter. We propose a context-sensitive topical PageRank method for keyword ranking and a probabilistic scoring function that considers both relevance and interestingness of keyphrases for keyphrase ranking. We evaluate our proposed methods on a large Twitter data set. Experiments show that these methods are very effective for topical keyphrase extraction.

Continuous Nearest Neighbor Search In The Presence Of Obstacles, Yunjun Gao, Baihua Zheng, Gang Chen, Chun Chen, Qing Li May 2011

Continuous Nearest Neighbor Search In The Presence Of Obstacles, Yunjun Gao, Baihua Zheng, Gang Chen, Chun Chen, Qing Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Despite the ubiquity of physical obstacles (e.g., buildings, hills, and blindages, etc.) in the real world, most of spatial queries ignore the obstacles. In this article, we study a novel form of continuous nearest-neighbor queries in the presence of obstacles, namely continuous obstructed nearest-neighbor (CONN) search, which considers the impact of obstacles on the distance between objects. Given a data setP, an obstacle set O, and a query line segment q, in a two-dimensional space, a CONN query retrieves the nearest neighbor p ∈ P of each point p′ on q according to the obstructed distance, the shortest path between …

Comparing Twitter And Traditional Media Using Topic Models, Wayne Xin Zhao, Jing Jiang, Jianshu Weng, Jing He, Ee Peng Lim, Hongfei Yan, Xiaoming Li Apr 2011

Comparing Twitter And Traditional Media Using Topic Models, Wayne Xin Zhao, Jing Jiang, Jianshu Weng, Jing He, Ee Peng Lim, Hongfei Yan, Xiaoming Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Twitter as a new form of social media can potentially contain much useful information, but content analysis on Twitter has not been well studied. In particular, it is not clear whether as an information source Twitter can be simply regarded as a faster news feed that covers mostly the same information as traditional news media. In This paper we empirically compare the content of Twitter with a traditional news medium, New York Times, using unsupervised topic modeling. We use a Twitter-LDA model to discover topics from a representative sample of the entire Twitter. We then use text mining techniques to …

Efficient Topological Olap On Information Networks, Qiang Qu, Feida Zhu, Xifeng Yan, Jiawei Han, Philip Yu, Hongyan Li Apr 2011

Efficient Topological Olap On Information Networks, Qiang Qu, Feida Zhu, Xifeng Yan, Jiawei Han, Philip Yu, Hongyan Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We propose a framework for efficient OLAP on information networks with a focus on the most interesting kind, the topological OLAP (called “T-OLAP”), which incurs topological changes in the underlying networks. T-OLAP operations generate new networks from the original ones by rolling up a subset of nodes chosen by certain constraint criteria. The key challenge is to efficiently compute measures for the newly generated networks and handle user queries with varied constraints. Two effective computational techniques, T-Distributiveness and T-Monotonicity are proposed to achieve efficient query processing and cube materialization. We also provide a T-OLAP query processing framework into which these …

Mkboost: A Framework Of Multiple Kernel Boosting, Hao Xia, Steven C. H. Hoi Apr 2011

Mkboost: A Framework Of Multiple Kernel Boosting, Hao Xia, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Multiple kernel learning (MKL) has been shown as a promising machine learning technique for data mining tasks by integrating with multiple diverse kernel functions. Traditional MKL methods often formulate the problem as an optimization task of learning both optimal combination of kernels and classifiers, and attempt to resolve the challenging optimization task by various techniques. Unlike the existing MKL methods, in this paper, we investigate a boosting framework of exploring multiple kernel learning for classification tasks. In particular, we present a novel framework of Multiple Kernel Boosting (MKBoost), which applies boosting techniques for learning kernel-based classifiers with multiple kernels. Based …

In-Degree Dynamics Of Large-Scale P2p Systems, Zhongmei Yao, Daren B. H. Cline, Dmitri Loguinov Jan 2011

In-Degree Dynamics Of Large-Scale P2p Systems, Zhongmei Yao, Daren B. H. Cline, Dmitri Loguinov

Computer Science Faculty Publications

This paper builds a complete modeling framework for understanding user churn and in-degree dynamics in unstructured P2P systems in which each user can be viewed as a stationary alternating renewal process. While the classical Poisson result on the superposition of n stationary renewal processes for n→∞ requires that each point process become sparser as n increases, it is often difficult to rigorously show this condition in practice. In this paper, we first prove that despite user heterogeneity and non-Poisson arrival dynamics, a superposition of edge-arrival processes to a live user under uniform selection converges to a Poisson process when …

Finding Unusual Review Patterns Using Unexpected Rules, Nitin Jindal, Bing Liu, Ee Peng Lim Oct 2010

Finding Unusual Review Patterns Using Unexpected Rules, Nitin Jindal, Bing Liu, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In recent years, opinion mining attracted a great deal of research attention. However, limited work has been done on detecting opinion spam (or fake reviews). The problem is analogous to spam in Web search [1, 9 11]. However, review spam is harder to detect because it is very hard, if not impossible, to recognize fake reviews by manually reading them [2]. This paper deals with a restricted problem, i.e., identifying unusual review patterns which can represent suspicious behaviors of reviewers. We formulate the problem as finding unexpected rules. The technique is domain independent. Using the technique, we analyzed an Amazon.com …

Mining Interesting Link Formation Rules In Social Networks, Cane Wing-Ki Leung, Ee Peng Lim, David Lo, Jianshu Weng Oct 2010

Mining Interesting Link Formation Rules In Social Networks, Cane Wing-Ki Leung, Ee Peng Lim, David Lo, Jianshu Weng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Link structures are important patterns one looks out for when modeling and analyzing social networks. In this paper, we propose the task of mining interesting Link Formation rules (LF-rules) containing link structures known as Link Formation patterns (LF-patterns). LF-patterns capture various dyadic and/or triadic structures among groups of nodes, while LF-rules capture the formation of a new link from a focal node to another node as a postcondition of existing connections between the two nodes. We devise a novel LF-rule mining algorithm, known as LFR-Miner, based on frequent subgraph mining for our task. In addition to using a support-confidence framework …

Detecting Product Review Spammers Using Rating Behaviors, Ee Peng Lim, Viet-An Nguyen, Nitin Jindal, Bing Liu, Hady Wirawan Lauw Oct 2010

Detecting Product Review Spammers Using Rating Behaviors, Ee Peng Lim, Viet-An Nguyen, Nitin Jindal, Bing Liu, Hady Wirawan Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper aims to detect users generating spam reviews or review spammers. We identify several characteristic be- haviors of review spammers and model these behaviors so as to detect the spammers. In particular, we seek to model the following behaviors. First, spammers may target specific products or product groups in order to maximize their im- pact. Second, they tend to deviate from the other reviewers in their ratings of products. We propose scoring methods to measure the degree of spam for each reviewer and apply them on an Amazon review dataset. We then select a sub- set of highly suspicious …

Context Modeling For Ranking And Tagging Bursty Features In Text Streams, Xin Zhao, Jing Jiang, Jing He, Xiaoming Li, Hongfei Yan, Dongdong Shan Oct 2010

Context Modeling For Ranking And Tagging Bursty Features In Text Streams, Xin Zhao, Jing Jiang, Jing He, Xiaoming Li, Hongfei Yan, Dongdong Shan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Bursty features in text streams are very useful in many text mining applications. Most existing studies detect bursty features based purely on term frequency changes without taking into account the semantic contexts of terms, and as a result the detected bursty features may not always be interesting or easy to interpret. In this paper we propose to model the contexts of bursty features using a language modeling approach. We then propose a novel topic diversity-based metric using the context models to find newsworthy bursty features. We also propose to use the context models to automatically assign meaningful tags to bursty …

Mining Collaboration Patterns From A Large Developer Network, Didi Surian, David Lo, Ee Peng Lim Oct 2010

Mining Collaboration Patterns From A Large Developer Network, Didi Surian, David Lo, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this study, we extract patterns from a large developer collaborations network extracted from Source Forge. Net at high and low level of details. At the high level of details, we extract various network-level statistics from the network. At the low level of details, we extract topological sub-graph patterns that are frequently seen among collaborating developers. Extracting sub graph patterns from large graphs is a hard NP-complete problem. To address this challenge, we employ a novel combination of graph mining and graph matching by leveraging network-level properties of a developer network. With the approach, we successfully analyze a snapshot of …

Shortest Path Computation On Air Indexes, Georgios Kellaris, Kyriakos Mouratidis Sep 2010

Shortest Path Computation On Air Indexes, Georgios Kellaris, Kyriakos Mouratidis

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Shortest path computation is one of the most common queries in location-based services that involve transportation net- works. Motivated by scalability challenges faced in the mo- bile network industry, we propose adopting the wireless broad- cast model for such location-dependent applications. In this model the data are continuously transmitted on the air, while clients listen to the broadcast and process their queries locally. Although spatial problems have been considered in this environment, there exists no study on shortest path queries in road networks. We develop the rst framework to compute shortest paths on the air, and demonstrate the practicality and …
